I rather prefer:

"Entropia Universe is Deterministic ;-)"

If I were to model this I would start with a data model that allowed a significant number of attributes to be modified - some manually, some dynamically (this has been hinted to in the Q&A from the balancing manager). Allow X TT of CB19(L)s in circulation/per Y active participants is an example of a fixed value, return X% of input into the system to loot in this area is an example of a dynamic value.

The dynamic values do move in a pseudo-random fashion, giving the "dynamic" universe, but, unfortunately there is a constant ticking in the background. Hence the rather deterministic nature of the Universe.

Not wishing to get into religon, it all rather depends on your belief in a creation or an evolution. Unfortunately our virtual universe was most definitely created (rather intelligently I must say), and as such we must all bow down to our god, whose name is whichever randomization code MA chose

Fortunately RL is dynamic
